Hi Everyone,
I have recently purchased a loverly GTI P reg and have a few issues i was wondering if you could clear up.
1) Firstly there is no paperwork for a recent cam belt change. The car has done 165000 miles and so think its wise to do it encase.
- Does anyone know a rough figure for a garage to do this?
- Secondly if i do it myself with a friend in the know, do I have to buy a full kit with the tensioner etc or will just the belt suffice?
2) The power steering pulls strongly to the left, although i know this is natural with contours of the road I can tell its more than normal. I am hoping its the tracking but if i let go of the steering it kind of shakes. And also it seems to pull to the left with varying degrees.
- Are there any common issues this may be attributed to?
3) I only received one key with the motor which seems to have a button in the middle but has no effect. Entrance to the car is by old fashioned key in lock method and the central locking locks / unlocks. It seems to have alarm from the LED in the dash but it is permanently off.
- Firstly does a spare key cut cost much considering it probably has a chip etc?
- Secondly any idea why alarm etc is not working? (i know i don't have much info sorry, but worth a shot).
4) I have fitted my own after market head unit but for some reason when i turn the engine off it looses all the pre-set station etc. I assume the live feed to the head unit is turning off but not sure how to stop this, which coloured wire might be at fault, or if its to do with alarm etc
Thanks for your help in advance guys
